Sorry, this is a sore point for me. If a person wants to recycle clothing into crafting of any sort, I have no problem with that... IF they are using clothing from their own household. If you can afford new cloth, don't use the wool suit that might have helped a poor person get a job, or keep them from being quite as cold...
(OK off my soapbox... sorry for the rant)
I agree with you EXCEPT aroung here Goodwill, Salvation Army and Thrift stores DON'T give poor people anything whether to find a job or keep them warmer. With prices sky high in these stores most can't afford to buy them.
